The sustainable growth of fish aquaculture will require the procurement of non-marine feed sources. Glycerol is a potential feed supplement whose metabolism may spare the catabolism of dietary amino acids, thereby extending the use of the feed protein to other physiological functions such as growth....
INTRODUCTION: Feed optimization is a key step to the environmental and economic sustainability of aquaculture, especially for carnivorous species. Plant-derived ingredients can contribute to reduce costs and nitrogenous effluents while sparing wild fish stocks. However, the metab...
Dietary glycerol supplementation in aquaculture feed is seen as an alternative and inexpensive way to fuel fish metabolism, attenuate metabolic utilization of dietary proteins and, subsequently reduce nitrogen excretion. In this study, we evaluated the impact of dietary glycerol suppl...
Plant-based protein sources play an important role in aquaculture by dwindling fish meal to sustainable levels. However, the use of such feedstuffs requires nutrient supplementation to fulfil fish nutritional requirements. This work addressed the response in the liver of farmed fish to dietary methi...
